I got this particular card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150616
So far I got it to 1000/1370 at 1.088v. Temps hovers around 75c while playing Far Cry 3 with fan set at 75%. I do use frame limiter so fps stays below 60. Without the limiter, fps goes crazy at times above 60 and load temps increases to around 78c.
Recently I've been trying to overclock it further and I couldn't get it to run stable at 1050mhz core and I'm already at 1.110v. As for the temps I could not get a proper reading cause it freezes around 3mins after going into game. Temps around 74ish. I've been hesitant to push it further cause I got no way of telling what temps the vrms are running. GPU-Z cannot detect it nor HWInfo. Is there other way of knowing the vrm temps other than a laser gun? Like any other monitoring software I didn't know of? If the VRM goes past it's limit, does it have some sort of protection or something? Cause last time I played Anno 2070 and fps rockets to around 90fps, temps goes around 85c and the core clock throttles to 500mz. That was around 6 mos. ago on a different environment w/c is hotter then where I am right now. The card was overclocked at 1050mhz @ 1,09v as far as I remember. I was assuming that's vrm protection kicking in?
This is the first card I've owned where I'm pretty much limited by cooling. And the fan is noisy at 75%, deafening at 100%. I've been meaning to try the Red Mod but I'm still in the process of looking for a copper shim. The Accelero Xtreme 7970 is also a very efficient alternative but I got no luck so far looking for it here in our local stores. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and suggestions
